ers as creaien mem. in au vor-t
orations, in this country, created
by the Legislatures, he considered
that this visitatorial or corrective
lower, as we would call it in this
a m -a
country, resided in Nie Legisla
tures themselves, who had crea
ted the bodies corporate. The
parity ot the corrective power
claimed by the Legislature of this
country, to that of the visitatorial
power exercised by the King, was
perfectly just and compatible with
the principles of the common law.
In England, they wore tried for
their misdemeanors by the Court
of King's Rcnch, and he thought
the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the State had tie same
recognizance of any misdemean
ors of the different Corporations
within the limits of this State, &.
particularly when instructed by
the corrective or visitatorial pow
er that the Legislature claimed.
To give it a different construc
tion, would be yielding to all cor
porate bodies ah unlimited con
trol, which, he thought, bore an
absurdity on its face. To shew
that his (Mr. B's) construction
was a fair one, he would read it,
j as he found it laid aown in . Dl.

individual lepacities. Then . is ; the subject; and to refuse to pros

to the land of the grantor, w hich
reverted to! hem on the dissolu

might dictfite ? If it were the
privilege that enabled the Cor
poration to act, would it not ena
ble the grantor to act when re
sumcd ? He did not view , the
privilege as totally extinct to all
purposes, but thought, even with
out an additional enactment, the
Legislature; was competent to pro
ceed to the adjustment of the
debts due to and from the Corpo
ration, in a case of forfeiture. In
order to prjevent the doubt's that
might ariselby the construction of
this aw, the bill on the table con
tained certain clauses for the ex
press purpose of disposing ot the
effects of the Bank, in case of a

He would ask again, why was this

ty, which he considered more in
the light of an apology for their
illegal conduct, than, a strict and
impartial report; and by that e
ven, the Banks had been found
guilty of a majority of the charges
preferred. Indeed, said Mr. B.
this guilt was admitted by many
of their best friends, and if guilty,
why should they, more than in
dividuals, escape punishment ?

merely as an evasion of the ques

thought whether the Legisla

not coficeive in what manner that
went to the exculpation of the

this investigation by the Legisla

the part of the Legislature, of be

iooked on it as the business of the
Legislature to disavow any par

Sir, the same gentleman " has
styled' the proposed prosecution,
"a plundering and religious cru-
sadc " In what the applicability
of this assertion consisted, be con -
fessed was far beyond his powers
of comprehension. In the bill on
the table, every thing v?is propo
sed to be conducted with a due
regard toi law and equity the
rights even ot the tlemiquent
were to be observed with the
strictest regard to the rules of e-
quity and law. Sir, in
of argument, gentlemen
theheat
seem to
have forgotten that these institu -
tions were, amenable tojany law.
In the ardorof their defence, they
would have us believe -thdm irre
proachable, and beyond the con
trol of the Legislature; I Wrhat
sir, a creature greater than the
creator Has North-Carolina wove
for herself a legal net, out of w hich
the people cannot extricate them
selves and that she cannot con
trol ? He could not support the
legitimacy of.such a doctrine.
7he learned gentleman from
Newborn, had spoken bf consti
tutional impediments, and ex post
facto law. He had not the vanity
to contrast his legal opinions with
those of the' Seamed gentleman, for
whom, he must confess, he had ev
er had a kind of superstitions rev
erence,; but, so far as they regard
ed-the 'present measure, he renlly
could not see their application or
weight; for if correct, 1 e thought
the bill on 'your table went . the
full length to obviate every con-
stitutional objection founded up-
on the principles of"exposijacto
lar?;'' unless the gentleman coh-
tended that the bill itself was ex
post facto; as it authorized the
debts, n hen collected, if a forfeit
ure did take place,, to (be appro
priated to the benefit of the stock
horders; so that tl - only injury
they would receive, would be the
taking from them their charters,
and i preventing them .from longer
speculating on the misfortunes of
the people under" the guise of
Bankers. : 'He agreed wi:h the
gentleman, when he said that the
.Legislature tjiat created these in
stitutions, were in a partial hallu
ctnation.rlSeveT, in hiis opinion,
had any institutions been cOnduct-

been created by the Banks them
